Chubby Checker needs to realize he's in his 70s, which was also the last decade he mattered.

He also makes 10,000$ a night on tour. I think you, me, and everyone on this board wish we all mattered THAT much.

Chubby Checker is a person's name?

And right in the middle of Black History Month, too. Someone get me the smelling salts...

Let me clarify. I know who CC the person is and always have, I was referring to the app. I had no clue that it existed until CC let us all know about it.

Honestly, he just needs to sign an endorsement deal.

I'm judging you all who didn't know who Chubby Checker was.

WORD. The Twist is a classic, yo.

But this...EW.

I should mention here that I love The Alvin Twist, too.

I think that is the crux of his problem, I think it makes it look as if he has lent his name for the app, when he didn't, and according to him, he wouldn't. Sometimes older public figures should leave this area alone..... because sometimes it turns out like this:

I mean, he's the only person ever to hit #1 twice with the same song so...yeah he's a big deal but...yeah...that app...weird.

This was on TMZ yesterday, so silly. They had a picture of Chubby as a penis poking out of a pair of pants. They even put a slit in his afro.

OMG I'm dying just picturing that !!!

It was pretty funny! Last time I saw him was when he performed at the Daytime Emmys for Dick Clark's tribute. He didn't look so well and even said, "Pray for me saints!" at the end of his performance, like he was going through something.
